Abstract

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a highly contagious disease of cattle caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides small colony. It is one of the most important threats to cattle-raising and trade in Africa including Ethiopia. A cross sectional study was conducted on 384 randomly selected cattle from 96 cattle herds selected from herds of cattle managed under extensive production system in three selected districts (Woliso, Dawo and Ameya) of Southwest Shewa zone of Oromia Regional State with the aim of estimating the sero-prevalence of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia and to assess the risk factors associated with its occurrence. Competitive Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay test was used to identify 384 cattle sera for Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides small colony specific antibodies. The sero-prevalence of CBPP was calculated as the number of sero-positive samples divided by the total number of samples tested. The association between risk factors and sero-prevalence of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia was computed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Animal-level and herd-level overall sero-prevalence of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia were 9.4 % (95%CI: 6.5-12.3) and 32.3 % (95%CI: 22.9-41.6) respectively. Among predisposing risk factors assessed; age (OR = 4.3, 95%CI: 1.8-10.1, P < 0.05), body condition score (OR = 3.4, 95% CI: 1.3-9.0, P < 0.05) and herd size (OR = 7.5, 95% CI: 2.7-21.2, p < 0.05) were significantly associated with the sero-prevalence of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia. This study result indicates a need for intervening and implementing control measures to prevent further spread of the disease in the study area. Therefore, removing or culling older animal, animal with poor body condition and technical support for larger herd owners may help in reducing the prevalence of the disease in the study area until other control stage designed.
